Gift bag topper Tutorial

Hi all! I thought I'd post how I made my custom sized topper for giftbags. The gift bag that used was a kraft bag ( from Walmart) that measured 6.5X3" and was 9" high. You can adapt these instructions to fit just about any size gift bag.

Trim cardstock to 7X10.5". If you have a smaller or larger szed bag , then measure the base and add 2" to each side ( or less if you want it to be smaller). Score at 2' on all sides. Score all corners at diagonal, as indicated in the pic above. If you wish, you can use a border punch on the outside edges .. just start at the 2" score line.

With your ruler and Exacto knife, cut two slots for the handles. Then fold the corners inward. I added sticky tape to the inside , and the outside of the corner to make sure it stayed stuck together.

Once you've folded and adhered all the corners, it should look like this! Simple, huh?
